Releasing

The panda-cms gem uses semantic versioning.

Installing gem-release

Installing gem-release makes some parts of the release cycle easier:

gem install gem-release

Releasing a new version of the panda-cms gem

With no staged changes, to set the next version number, run:

RELEASE_VERSION=$(gem bump --pretend --no-commit | awk '{ print $4 }' | tr -d '[:space:]')
echo $RELEASE_VERSION

This should output the next patch release version.

You can also set RELEASE_VERSION manually:

RELEASE_VERSION=0.6.2

To release the gem to this version number, run:

gem bump --version "$RELEASE_VERSION"
bundle install
git checkout -b release/v$RELEASE_VERSION
git add . && git commit --message "[RELEASE] v$RELEASE_VERSION"
git push
git checkout main
git merge release/v$RELEASE_VERSION
git push
gem build panda-cms.gemspec
gem push panda-cms-$RELEASE_VERSION.gem

To release the gem to another version, set RELEASE_VERSION yourself first.
